Comment: I broke her serve in the first set, so I got the first set. But the match was delayed because of the rain, and after the rain, we both felt a little nervous on court. I knew she would change her tactic after the rain. I had a break, tried to calm down and thought about what I could do later. I played consistently after the rain, and broke her several times. I could see that she had a lot of pressure, and she made some easy mistakes. But I did pretty well.
Q: In the first China Open, Williams finally won the game, and the whole crowd was cheering for her. And this year, it was the same situation. Did you feel differently?
A: It was pretty understandable, cuz she was losing. They were trying to help her. And after the rain, the spectators wanted to see more and probably three sets. I played with many top players, and many of them are a little more popular than me. I also played with Li Na several times, and the whole crowd was cheering for her as well. I’ve used to that, and learned to turn the cheering to my power to win. It doesn’t mean that the crowd doesn’t like me.
Q: You already defeated Mauresmo 3 times this year, and now you are No.4 in the world. Do you think you have the chance to challenge the world No.1?
A: This is the first time defeating Mauresmo, and I lost 3 times. So I’m very happy to get the gap closer. In the last match against her, I think I found the way to win her. It is my dream to be world No.1. It was a difficult year last year. I think if I keep good work, the No.1 will come one day.
Q: After the rain, when Mauresmo tried to change tactic, you succeeded in keeping her at the base line. Do you think was the main factor that you could win her at 6-0?
A: I’ve lost to her 3 times, and I was finding a way to defeat her. This year, I have a new coach and use some new tactic in my practice. In the game just now, Mauresmo lost many easy balls. I served well in the game, and that was one of the reasons that I won.
Q: How did you prepare for the game during the rain?
Q: I like to listen to music all the time, and I can’t imagine playing game without music. I talked with my coach and warmed up. It was important to play well at the start.
Q: The crowd was all disappointed that the game was not that good. What do you think about that?
A: It was a hard question. I can’t say I ‘m not happy with the title. Mauresmo was at her best. And that is tennis.
